The central theme of performance Une façon d`aimer / Ways of Love is revolving around violence, which is perceived as the only possible articulation of longings for love, lust, dissection and loss of bodily fetters. By bringing the violence and desire behind it into consciousness, two possible ways of resolution open up; the way of 'purification' / catharsis through pain and through laughter and self-irony. Maja Delak & Luka Prinčič are researching, investigating and formulating a language of two authors with different formal backgrounds and experiences. They meet through common themes and working process that investigates the dialectics of this particular creative collaboration, including an intense intertwining of music, sound, photography, video, noise, text, and performative actions.
Love is a process, indispensable for collective self-transformation, a process which functions between dictatorship and spontaneity. It is a kind of a polygon, a plateau of exploration and cultivation of own autonomy, which we do not yet know how to enact in all its (social) potentiality. This very plateau is the place where we can become autonomous, self-governing, without supervisors, directors, managers, and presidents. Because love – in contrast to friendship or solidarity – entails the potential for transformation.

Centralna tema performansa Une façon d`aimer / Putevi ljubavi je nasilje, koje se uzima kao jedina moguća artikulacija žudnje za ljubavlju, požude, seciranja i gubljenja telesnih okova. Dovodjenjem nasilja i želje koja za njim stoji u domen svesnog, otvaraju se dva moguća puta razrešenja; put “očišćenja”/katarze kroz bol i kroz smeh i samoironiju. Maja Delak & Luka Prinčič istražuju, ispituju i formulišu jezik dva autora sa različitim iskustvima. Oni se susreću kroz zajedničke teme i stvaralački process koji istražuje dijalektike ove konkretne saradnje, uključujući snažno preplitanje muzike, zvuka, fotografije, videa, buke, teksta i izvodjačkih akcija.
Ljubav je proces, od neprocenjive vrednosti za kolektivnu samo-transformaciju, proces koji se dogadja izmedju diktatorstva i spontanosti. To je vrsta poligona, platforma za istraživanje kultivisanje sopstvene autonomije, koju ne znamo kako da umestimo u sve njene (socijalne) potencijalitete. Ova platforma je ujedno i mesto gde možemo postati autonomni, samokontrolisani, bez supervizora, direktora, menadžera i predsednika. Jer ljubav – za razliku od prijateljstva i solidarnosti – sadrži u sebi potencijal za preobrazu.
